* The reason that Michaels stayed retired for most of TheNewTens, despite still being at peak physical condition even in his fifties? He wanted to make sure he spent more time with his family. Even though he ended up coming out of retirement in 2018, the fact that he stayed out of the ring for eight years - which is still a hell of a long time [[TenMinuteRetirement compared to other pro wrestlers]] - to be a father is really sweet.

** The best part of this is, unlike the Madison Square Garden Curtain Call all those years ago, that WWE tried to bury, they've since glorified this Curtain Call. And rightfully so.

** Shawn finding God is also worth mentioning. His is a bona-fide story of salvation, coming off a life full of reckless partying, drugs, and selfish ambition that has put both his career and life at stake before coming to Christianity and genuinely turning his life around for the better. Whether or not you also choose to walk the path he does, Shawn Michaels proves that it's never too late to find a new reason to live.

**That one deserves a bit of elaboration: Michaels was facing Steve Austin at King Of The Rings '97, and the Special Olympian in question was apparently a Michaels fan who jumped the railing to try and help his hero. Rather than let the arena security throw the fan out, Michaels - as well as the referee - got security to back off and calmed the fan down long enough for his parent/caregiver to come and lead him away from the action.
